The irony of being Tim Henman

[srebbe64]

I'm currently watching the tennis - I can't stand it, but nothing else to do.

Anyway, it seems Henman's got a "fanatical" following. The funny thing is though, all the women seem to be, how can I say - either butt ugly or old.

Have you seen his wife though? I don't suppose it bothers him.

Didn't Damon Hill say something along the lines of:

"Winning is everything. No-one remembers who came second except the wife"

Persil makes you a loser - don't buy it!

Unfortunately he's simply neither good enough nor consistent enough. Not unlike David Coulthard, lovely bloke etc but simply can't make the top rung. Or if they're in the lead, you know they're going to throw it away.

I have been following the match on the BBC website.

Are the plots of Tim's matches written by Hollywood scriptwriters?.

Last time he came back from two sets to love down. Now he has just saved two match points and gone on to break his opponents serve when they were serving for the match.

I was under the impression that he wasn’t really.
